Time it takes a train to pass our train: About 3 minutes
Time we spend sitting along the main line on a siding
waiting for a train that will pass us: 1 hour and 15 minutes
Time we spend traveling: 24 minutes (about 4 minutes at a
very slow crawl)
Here is the math question:
If we are traveling at an average of 30 miles per hour how many miles do
we travel in an hour??
The good news is that I have learned how to use the
Stop-Watch on my computer.
In the interim, Birgit has walked from one end of the train
to the other (in an attempt to get a few steps on her Fitbit) and she reports
that it takes 11 minutes to walk from one end to the other. In a non-moving train. We will have to repeat this while the train
is moving later.
On other news – there is rumor of a beer tasting this
afternoon!
Update - no beer tasting BUT we got lots of champagne before dinner. Made the conversation in the dining car quite lively!
Here is going to breakfast!
